Hi Robbiet, I'm Paul Dougies lad, who are you then.

Regarding Alan Roberts I know him well and his parents live around the corner from me infact I saw his Father yesterday.

Alan had a few problems in latter years how is he now.

I remember when he lived in Pye Bank Drive he had a Dobberman mid 70s which was a real pain in the a**e and should have been put down as it threatened everyone who walked near the house and it was loose to.

 

Received an email today from an old friend who has posted on here LA Blade it contained some film clips of the Dial House club and a couple of photos, You may know someone in one of them, at first i thought they were 2 of my wifes brothers but on zooming in i think the lad on the right is defo Alan Roberts

We moved to Pitsmoor in 78 and we first lived at 19 fox st bang across from the highway. The landlord and landlady who had the highway then was called Bob and Lin

Yes your right it is definately Alan Roberts but I can't put a name to the other boy.

This photo is interesting with the old Humber parked at the edge of the flats and the condition of the slabs the two boys are walking on.

This photo was taken pre 1966 before the chip shop took up residency and its possible that that area was just errected and built.

I notice its very quiet hardly anyone around in a part where it buzzed with people so I reckon it was taken on a Sunday or before the shops actually opened...

Remember that "open" play ground area between the two flats they are walking towards? It was never used (in my memory) as ball games were not allowed!
